At Aspen Ideas Health, Dr. Sarah Wood spoke to the power of finding purpose.

Dr. Wood notes that every young person has a passion worth fostering, and that supportive figures and communities carry as much weight in mental health as clinical care does. As an adolescent medicine clinician, her hope is for a future where communities, schools, and families build such a strong culture of resilience that clinicians like her become less and less needed.
